GEMMELL called the Ibrox manager a ‘p****’ on Twitter in a rant about McCoist's complaints over Rangers having to play four games in 11 days.

SCOTTISH Football Association compliance officer Vincent Lunny was last night weighing up whether to issue a disciplinary charge against John Gemmell following the Stenhousemuir striker’s
allegedly abusive tweet aimed at Rangers manager Ally McCoist.

The Ochilview striker hit out on social media following the Ibrox gaffer’s moans that his team were being
asked to play four games in 11 days, three of them away from home.

The Warriors marksman called the Ibrox manager a ‘p****’ for arguing that their game at
Ochilview should have been played in a future midweek instead of on Sunday.

After
an expletive-peppered rant, Gemmell – a Rangers season-ticket holder – added: “Just fed up listening to guys like McCoist moaning when they’ve got the best job in the world.”

Lunny is considering whether to begin proceedings against Gemmell for the comments, with a letter to the player and/or Stenhousemuir expected to be the first action in determining whether to issue a formal notice of complaint.

Hibs
striker Rowan Vine was served with a notice of complaint earlier this season after taking to Twitter to respond to Neil Lennon’s claims he had
been responsible for a ‘rugby-esque’ tackle in the 1-1 draw with Celtic
in October.

Vine, who was charged with ‘making offensive comments on Twitter suggesting the use of
violence’, was censured by the SFA following a hearing in November.

Rangers
defeated Stenhousemuir 2-0 on Sunday, with McCoist having the last laugh after embracing substitute Gemmell at the end of the rearranged League One match.

The Ibrox
manager made a joke of the whole affair, saying: “I get called worse in
my own house,” before adding: “The really worrying thing was that about
60 per cent of our dressing room agreed with him!”
